I cannot choose for any protecting friend other than God Almighty

Lesson # 688 From Holy Qur’aan

I cannot choose for any protecting friend other than God Almighty

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle)
– Chapter – 6)–Stage - 2

Verses
– 13 & 14a of 165, Section – 2 of 20 (Part - 7)

BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

13.
And unto Him belongeth whatsoever resteth in the night and the day. He
is the Hearer, the Knower.

14a.
Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allaah, the Originator of the heavens
and the earth. Who foodeth and is never fed?

It was told in the previous verse that everything
in the heavens and in the earth and whatsoever is among them belongs to Allaah Almighty, and He is Alone Owner
of the entire things without any partner.

In the verse being discussed today, the same matter
has been commanded regarding the time that everything whatsoever exists in the
night or the day (any time) belongs to Allaah
Almighty. By amalgamating both verses, it meant that everything with regard to
any place and time (everything on every place and every time) belongs to Allaah Almighty, that is to say; only He
is the Possessor of entire things. There is neither any partner of Him in
proprietary of anything at any place and at any time, and nor the claim of
proprietary (of anything) by anyone is befitting. Neither anything goes out
from His Hold due to change of place, nor does any difference come in His
Proprietary and Ownership due to passage of time.

While Allaah
Almighty is Master, Owner, Possessor and Lord of all things, then only He is
Provider of all creatures’ necessities, because it is the responsibility of the
Owner to look after the things, which are in His control. It is compulsory for Him
to be aware of each condition of the entire.

It is clear proclamation in the
verse that certainly Allaah Almighty
is the Hearer of all creatures and the Knower of the conditions of entire things
completely. It has been explained in the Saying of the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) in this manner that He listens also to the
sound of an ant’s feet, which is creeping slowly on a very smooth stone in any
hole.

And it is the state of His
Knowledge that He knows the measurement of the entire water of the oceans,
weight of stones of all the mountains, calculation of drops of the rain and
number of leafs of the entire trees everything completely.

After telling this, Allaah Almighty addresses His Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Ask them! Can I choose any
protecting friend other than such Lord, Who listens to everyone and knows
everything, Who created the heavens and the earth, Who provides all
necessities, food and provision to every creature?

Neither Allaah Almighty is needy of anything, nor anyone gives Him anything
and nor anyone can give Him anything. He is the only One Originator of the
heavens and the earth, Who foodeth His entire living creatures but is never fed
by anyone.
